Changes in this release include the following: o Two new query APIs were added to the Parallel library: H5Pget_mpio_no_collective_cause - retrieves reasons why the collective I/O was broken during read/write I/O access. H5Pget_mpio_actual_io_mode_f - Fortran counterpart to H5Pget_mpio_actual_io_mode (already in library for retrieving the parallel I/O type performed). o The h5import utility now allows the use of h5dump output as input into h5import. o The conversion tests no longer fail in dt_arith.c on Mac OS X 10.7 or 10.8. o The windows pre-built binaries are now provided with debug information. This enables users to debug their HDF5 applications using the pre-built binaries. This release contains many other changes and bug fixes not listed here, including fixes to various tools.
